Smart backpack
Solar Smartpacks by Finnish start-up
Tespack have detachable solar panels
and built-in battery banks for charging
laptops, phones or tablets on the go.
The modular system allows you to use
the same solar panel with different bag
designs.
Impact absorbing phone case
New D3O cases from GEAR4 Black are the first to use
injection mouldable D30 for added protection. D30
molecules flow freely under normal conditions but on
shock lock together to absorb and disperse energy. The
greater the force of the impact, the more the molecules
lock together. The cases are available for a
number of iPhone and Samsung
models from Carphone
Warehouse.
Tablet mount
Ergotron, a provider
of ergonomic work
and lifestyle products,
has introduced new
mini mounts ideal for
displaying an additional
monitor or tablet
alongside a main display. The
MX Mini Desk Arm and MX Mini Wall Mount
Arm are suitable for monitors and devices
weighing up to 3.6kg.
Smart air system
Amid rising concern about the effects of indoor air pollution,
Emerald Air is seeking crowd-funding for a new smart air
system for offices and homes. The Emerald Air consists of two
devices that can operate together or independently of each
other: an Emerald air sensor that monitors pollutant,
temperature and humidity levels, displaying the results
on a smartphone app; and an Airadicate smart air
purifier that filters out allergens, carcinogens and other
pollutants and uses UV LED disinfection technology to
kill viruses and bacteria.
Mini data centre
The Minkels MatrixCube is a mini data centre for
small and medium-sized companies that prefer to
keep their IT infrastructure in-house. MatrixCube
is available now in Belgium and the Netherlands,
with launches in the UK and other European
countries to follow.
Wake up and smell the
coffee
The Barisieur – a sort of hipster Teasmaid – is
described as the world’s first coffee-making alarm
clock. Before going to sleep, just add water, milk and
coffee or tea, set your alarm and the brew time for
your drink and wake up to an invigorating coffee or
cuppa. Find out more on Kickstarter.
Breakout seating

for reception areas and breakout spaces.

different styles and sizes to choose from,
